Montreal Has Released New COVID-19 Case Counts By Borough (VIDEO)
Although it's hard to believe it's been four months since the start of the pandemic, it's been 19 weeks since the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus a pandemic. Since then, we've seen the cases rise and fall. So, we see the importance of continuing to monitor Montreal's COVID-19 case count on a regular basis.
As of July 23 at 12 p.m., Santé Montréal has reported 28,274 confirmed cases of COVID-19, which is just under half of the province's total.

Women also account for 57.9% of the total case count.
